I'm pretty sure if you could run a smidgen away from a mob to incap it for 10seconds, that counts as "helping yourself out" and still "frees the whm to do something other than spam heals". Furthermore, when doing CC, if your group has 2 WHM, one should be full-time nuking anyway.


I'm not even sure what this dribble is.


Here's the "better answer": because running from CC incaps it so:
1) I don't take any damage.
2) My healing WHM can then nuke or rebuff as needed without any worry.
3) It's the "most efficient" thing to do in that given situation. It is an intended mechanic.

What your argument is basically saying is that if you don't "play smart" (what I consider playing smart is running from CC to incap it for quite some time), then you're being a pussy and therefor must suck at tanking. That is the most idiotic logic a tank could have. Did your XI linkshell also straight tank King Behemoth because kiting it was only for pussies? How about Kirin in the early days? You really are a piece of work.

I feel bad for anyone taking advice from you. You're one of the people who contributes to the ignorance of these forums and if there were some way to delete all the posts you make like the one above (and the many others you've plastered across these forums in the past months), we'd all be better for it. I'm sorry but you are either terrible at explaining yourself and/or awful at this game.
lol, you talk as if your whm has any mp to nuke once he/she gets done healing you. at any rate, I am done argueing this point , you seem to be ok with being a lousy tank, soo I am ok with you being a lousy tank, as far as taking my advice , I honestly dont care if you do, but here is a thought, if DEF and VIT are worthless then why even pop buffs that deflect or reduce damage taken? LOL with that logic we should all just stack HP on everything and let the WHMs take care of the rest and HOPE we dont get one or two shoted by realy closely proced tp moves from bosses.

Sorry to pop your bubble, but if your whm is constantly cureing your sorry ass because you refuse to add vit or def to your gear he/she is likely recovering mp in that 12 second time gap you afford them when CC is on his ass. Its cool tho, your soo pro at this you dont need my advice, Personaly I think the person who should get props at the end of each of your fights is your whm for not letting you die. In a situation where there is no back up tank, the whole fight hangs on the tank keeping hate, and staying alive, soo long as you dont run out of time thats realy all that matters. would love to see where hp helps reduce how much damage you take, fact is, a whm can keep my hp up as well if I have 3500 hp or 5500 hp, and the less hp I lose per hit the easier it gets for them... none of your nonsense is gona explain away the pure moronic ideals you base your tank on. only one thing actually helps the tank not take more damage , and that one thing is , adding more damage midigation. 4k hp is more then enough to give any whm room to keep your hp pool up , soo long as you dont take hits like a pus. with full pt buff , I sit at just over 4k hp with no hp materia on my gear, and I still take 30%+ less damage then you soo yeah...
